Update (8/9): Along the right, you will now see a picture of each of our lineups. Come back here on Friday night for our Matchweek 1 lineups!

The Fantasy Soccer FC podcast draft took place this past weekend! Your three podcast co-hosts (Brian, Dave, and Scott) and two of their friends (Matt and Joey) have joined for a 5-player draft league. Admittedly, this is not a big league, so every team is going to be stacked. Regardless, you can use this draft as a guide for your own later this week.

The first round, as expected, was heavy on strikers. Brian got things started and surprised us all by not taking his expected #1. Instead, Zlatan fell to Dave at #3. Scott decided to end the early run on forwards by picking Payet as the first midfielder.

Brian – Harry Kane – TOT

Matt – Sergio Aguero – MCI

Dave – Zlatan Ibrahimovic – MUN

Joey – Romelu Lukaku – EVE

Scott – Dmitri Payet – WHU

Round #2 saw Scott stay away from forward again by picking the first defender. Midfielders followed from everyone else.

Scott – Toby Alderweireld – TOT

Joey – Eden Hazard – CHE

Dave – Riyad Mahrez – LEI

Matt – Sadio Mane – LIV

Brian – Kevin de Bruyne – MCI

The third round was pretty predictable as most of the men continued to fill out their starting midfield. Joey is the first, though, to pick two strikers (Lukaku and Vardy). Scott continued to be contrary by picking the first goalkeeper.

Brian – Mesut Ozil – ARS

Matt – Alexis Sanchez – ARS

Dave – David Silva – MCI

Joey – Jamie Vardy – LEI

Scott – David de Gea – MUN

Midfielders and goalkeepers were picked in Round 4. No surprises here.

Scott – Christian Eriksen – TOT

Joey – Petr Cech – ARS

Dave – Hugo Lloris – TOT

Matt – Roberto Firmino – LIV

Brian – Dele Alli – TOT

We won’t go through picks 21-75 in their entirety, but here are some notable ones:

27. Joey – Diego Costa – CHE – Will he even be in the Premier League in September?

28. Dave – Leroy Sane – MCI – This is a high pick for a new signing. Will he pay off?

29. Matt – Erik Lamela – TOT – Will he play enough to be worth this pick?

32. Matt – Troy Deeney – WAT – He is taken much higher than his teammate, Odion Ighalo (#58).

38. Dave – Vincent Kompany – MCI – This might seem low for so important a player, but injuries are always a concern.

44. Joey – Andre Ayew – WHU – He was drafted as a Swan, but he is now a Hammer. A good thing for Joey?
